2 Claims. (Cl. 15581) My invention relates to seats for barbers,dentists, and similar operators, and the main object of my invention isto make their Work easier by providing means for seating them while atwork.

Another object of my invention is to provide an operating stool whichcan be adjusted to the height of the operator as well as to the distancefrom the person sitting in the barber or dentist chair.

Other objects of my invention may appear in the following detaileddescription of my invention, which will be understood best withreference to the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof. It is,however, to be noted that my invention is not to be limited orrestricted to the exact construction and assembly described in thefollowing specification and shown in the drawing, but that such changesand modifications may be made which fall within the scope of the claimsappended hereto.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stool according to my invention, abarber chair of conventional construction to which it is applied beingshown in broken lines.

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the stool shown in Figure '1, and

Figure 3 is a sectional view substantially taken on line 3-3 of Figurel.

The stool according to my invention has a circular base iii. A barber ordentist chair of conventional construction can rest on this base asindicated in Figure 1. If desired, however, this base may be madeintegral with the barber chair.

On the portion of the base Iii that is located at the back or" thebarber chair, a pocket is formed by a curved top i2 which is fastened atits cir- V cumference to the base H], permitting the rear portion of thefoot of the barber chair to be pushed into said pocket. The curved topI2 is shaped to correspond to the foot of the barber chair.

In the center of the top l2 and extending diametrically to the base itslide guides l3 "are formed, and a slide plate i l, to which a roundupright post i5 is rigidly fastened, is adapted to slide between theslide guides l3, carrying the post l5 with it. A stool support [6 ismade of tubing and its lower straight portion I1 is rotatably mounted onthe post I5. In order to strengthen the stool support iii an uprightextending plate It is fastened to the top portion of the slide guides l3and a shackle l9-surrounding the portion ll of the stool support It isfastened to upright plate l8.

Above the end of the upright post I5 the stool support I6 is bent inhorizontal direction as indicated at 20, and at 2! it is bent to extendagain upwardly. A brace 22 extends from the horizontal portion 23adjacent its forward end to the upper vertical portion 24 of the stoolsupport l5 near its upward end. Another brace 25 is provided between thehorizontal stool support portion 23 and the lower vertical stool supportportion H, as clearly shown in Figure 1.

A round post 26 fits rotatably into the upper stool support post 24 andthe upper part of post 26 is screw-threaded as shown at 21 in Figure 1.A round knurled nut 28 fits onto the screw thread 27 and rests on theupper end of the stool support it.

On the top of the screw threaded post 26 a second pair of slide guides29 is fastened and permits a slide plate 30 to slide therein back andforth. A seat 3| is fastened to the slide plate 30.

A. thumb screw 32 is provided in the slide guide i3 on the base It andis adapted to secure the slide [4 in adjusted position.

From the above description it is easy to see that a stool according tomy invention can be easily attached to a barber chair or the like; thatthe height of the seat of such stool can be adjusted by raising orlowering the post 26 in the upper stool support portion 24 by means ofthe knurled round nut 28, and the distance from the seat to the barberchair can be varied by the slide I3-l 4 on the base i0 and the slide29-30 directly under the seat 3L In addition, the seat 3! can swingabout the barber chair on the upright post i5, so thatthe work of theoperator will be greatly facilitated by the use of a stool according tomy invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is:

1. The combination, with a barber chair including a pedestal having anenlarged base rim, of a stool positioned adjacent said chair andcomprising a base with a pocket formed therein for the reception of saidrim, 2. pair of parallel spaced guides fixedly carried by said base andradially disposed relative to said chair, a plate slidably mountedwithin said guides, a vertical post secured to said plate, a stoolsupport rotatably mounted at its lower end on said post, and meanscarried by the upper end of said stool support for adjustably supportinga seat.
